I totally agree with your argument, because this often happens in some cases, it is very annoying. There is one news that reveals this, you can see at the link below.

He should keep it private or request the betting site to not show his face or post his information especially if coming from a poor family and neighborhood, he can give a portion of his earnings to friends, relatives, or those who are in needy but in a discreet way, by showing his earnings, he will put himself in trouble and his family and people will say bad words to him when he declines to give them a portion of his winning and he will be a subject of talks whenever they see him, this is the bad part of showing himself after he won a big amount.

Exactly my point, there will not only become envious of you, most of them will turn themselves to your enemy, they end up hating you for absolutely no reason, all because they came to you for help and you couldn't help, and this might even be people you've probably given assistance financially on several occasions, but the day you tell them you don't have, it becomes a problem for them.

It's just like a goalkeeper who keeps catching the ball and doing all he can to prevent it from ever crossing the bar, and as long as he keeps catching, kicking out the ball, the fans will keep praising him, but if eventually he misses a catch and the ball ended up crossing the bar and a goal is recorded, to the fans, he automatically becomes the enemy and the reason the team did not win the match 😁😁😁.

Yup, that is so true, you will suddenly find that you have a lot of relatives, lol, when you win a lottery. People that you don't know will become your friends because of one thing, they want to received some money from you because of your huge win.

So I do agree that it's better to not open our mouth when we win big, no need to brag it out in the open because you don't know what's coming for you. Just live your regular lifestyle as if you didn't win any.

Here the man is lucky to win out of sports betting. In my country similar incident took place with a person winning lottery jackpot of $300k, after tax deduction he receives around $195k. This is a big amount, but he lost his regular life as people started to chase him requesting Financial aid. Now he keeps changing his house.

Man who won jackpot lottery regrets winning

Making huge wins like this is something that you cant really be that able to avoid when your name is known specially when you do play on a local betting place or something in related.

In gambling, this is where people do always target on on which they are really making up some parlays but winning chance is really something that you cant really able to pull it off
easily unless if you are really that extremely lucky.

I was amazed that the winner or the guy had still mind off on praying up and never forgets his obligation and remain humble even if he do win up.
YOu cant really avoid those people around not to get along with the crowd and you would definitely be famous in an instant.

Betting news from Nigeria are always interesting I should admit
By the way this is an impressive win. seriously huge.
I have seen some similar only with horse betting in UK/IR bookmakers.
But these events are really uncommon, really hard to be achieved just few each year.
Even because people avoid such kinds of bets.

did we know what is was the winning bets/teams he played? of course it's everything confirmed no rigged match etc?

I carefully read the reference pic given the op but it's not a common matter but I can strongly recommend that it's super miracle for him.
From what I understand from the news, he had bet on a few football games, so luck is with him Caught so he bet on every game. And he gives 800N with bonus  he gets totally $51363>>>>>>

He wons all bellow bets

Leipzig -Vs Hertha B S C with ods 1.43
Tottenham Hotspur -Vs Everton with ods 1.50
Strusburg Vs Lille  with ods 2.35
Atlanta Vs Sussacio with ods 1.68

Yeah, it's a huge win.

And I do agree that if you win big, you just need to shut up and don't tell anyone, I have read a lot of news of people winning lottery and telling the whole neighbourhood that the next day people are lining up to his house to ask for help and monetary assistance. i mean it's not that bad to help others but what if you can't help them all? And then there are relatives that you suddenly shows up to your door as well for money. And again, you can't please everyone, at certain point there will be people that are going to be envious of you.

Last week, on the 14th of October, 2022, A Nigerian Man used 800 naira (which is equivalent to $1.072 in today's NGN/DOLLAR exchange rate) to bet on sports...

He later won a whopping 38,317,137 Nigerian naira (which is equivalent to $51,363.454 in today's NGN/DOLLAR exchange rate).

         ....How luckier can one get?😁😁😁

NOW, HERE IS MY REASON FOR MAKING THIS THREAD..
The book of proverbs(from the Bible) says "A prudent(wise) man knows when to keep his mouth shut and when to speak"

Don't you all think that in the course of we trying to show off this kind of winnings to friends, families, colleagues etc, we end up drawing known and unknown enemies to ourselves?

The heart of man is desperately wicked, Man destroy and kill his fellow man out of envy and jealousy, they celebrate your success with you in your front, but when you are not there, they device means to bring you down, or even kill you.

I think people should learn to keep their success stories away from physical people, because as they joy and praise you physically, secretly, they might not be as much happy as they appear physically.

If I am eager to share my success story, I prefer to do it online where no body knows me In person, like this forum, doing this offline with family, friends, colleagues, etc.. I think is too risky.

What is or are your opinion(s) on this matter?
